As for the new Nazi Grays, I couldn't care less what way they're packaged;
you're not getting {my} money for them.  (I'm not trying to be callous, but
that's what they remind me of.  BTW, if AFOLs start calling these new colors
"Nazi Gray" in number, I bet {that} would turn TLG's decision around really
quick.)
As Lego decided to copy the colour scheme of the military-dominated
Megablokes, this should not really come as a surprise, should it?

The german AFOLs used the term "Wehrmachtsgrau" (WWII german armed
forces grey) and "Panzergrau" (Tank grey) more or less from the very
beginning - even though Megablokes are not available over here[1], the
similarity in the colours has not be missed.
